An urgent call to action - Do your part and protect APNIC
by Karl Kloppenborg 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

RIPE List, I am posting this because there’s a number of RIPE holders who also have corporations and in turn votes in the APNIC region and the urgency of this is unequivocal. As many are aware, APNIC EC Elections are upon us, but few are aware of the dangers currently ahead. Some of the nominees are attempting to board stack and gain control of the EC. I implore you to read my attached document and do your part by contacting the EC with the provided template. By-laws require a very large voter base to enact, but it is possible. Australia and NZ have some of the largest voter block in the APNIC and enough to trigger a by-law change. I cannot stress this enough; the danger is very real – at the time of sending this email at least five candidates are either directly endorsed by NRS or the company LARUS. You can review this yourself here: https://2023.apricot.net/elections/nominations/ Do your part, pass this email, send this template to APNIC members you know and let's garner the votes necessary to protect our internet and our APNIC. Thank you, Karl Kloppenborg.

Updated RIPE Code of Conduct Process Document
by Leo Vegoda 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

Dear RIPE community, Earlier today, the Code of Conduct TF published an updated version of the Code of Conduct Process and Consequences document for review. We revised the text based on community feedback after publishing the previous version in September 2022. The RIPE NCC is updating relevant agreements to indemnify the Code of Conduct Team. As all the comments focused on the Process and Consequences document, we have not changed the Recruitment document that we published at the same time. You can find a blog post summarising the changes and linking to the new draft here: https://labs.ripe.net/author/leo_vegoda/updated-ripe-code-of-conduct-proces… Please review the document and share any remaining feedback by the end of February. Kind regards, Leo Vegoda for the Code of Conduct TF

Solidarity with Turkish and Syrian Members and Community
by Hans Petter Holen 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Dear colleagues, I am writing to express solidarity and sympathy with our members and community in Turkey and Syria. Last week saw a natural disaster of monumental proportions in our service region. For those who live and work, and who have family and friends in the affected region, this is clearly a traumatic experience. We are conscious that it is RIPE NCC members who are at this moment providing the Internet services that allow first responders and emergency services to carry out their work, and affected people to access vital information and stay in touch with loved ones. Our thoughts are with you all at this time. For our members in affected areas, we understand that paying invoices, for instance, will be the last thing on your mind, so we ask you not to be concerned and reach out if you need an extension. We will work to support you in this time of need. At the RIPE NCC, we are fortunate to have many excellent staff from the affected countries, and we will do what we can to support them through this period. Should you wish to support the relief effort, I encourage you to find a charitable organisation you support and make a donation. Again, on behalf of all of us at the RIPE NCC, we wish you strength in these difficult times. Kind regards, Hans Petter Holen Managing Director RIPE NCC

Re: [ripe-list] Updates to RIPE NomCom and RIPE Chair Selection Process Published Now
by Mirjam Kuehne 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

Dear colleagues, On 31/01/2023 13:44, Mirjam Kuehne wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > The following two new RIPE documents have now been published in the > RIPE document store: > > [..] > > 2. The RIPE Nominating Committee > https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-788 > (updating ripe-728) After publication we realised that Appendix G was incomplete. We added the following text to document the provenance of the document: "This document is a revision of ripe-728 based on recommendations by the RIPE Nominating Committee 2020. On request of the RIPE Chair, Daniel Karrenberg drafted and then published the document on 17 October 2022. A summary was presented during the Community Plenary at RIPE 85. On 7 December 2022, the RIPE Chair made the final call for comments with a deadline of 14 January 2023." As this does not change the substance of the document, we decided to keep the same ripe-document number. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne
